CHAP. XII. Of Adoption.
All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in, and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of Adoption: by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God, have his Name put upon them, receive the spirit of Adoption, have access to the Throne of Grace with boldness, are enabled to cry, Abba, Father, are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened, by him, as by a Father; yet, never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.

CHAP. XIII. Of Sanctification.
They who are effectually called, and Regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them; are further sanctified, really, and personally, through the virtue of Christs death and resurrection, by his Word, and Spirit dwelling in them: the Dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified; and they, more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practise of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
